File: elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/php-cakephp-tutorial.md

Summary

Updated PHP version requirement to 7.4+, simplified installation instructions, removed redundant notes, and clarified environment termination behavior

Security assessment

The PHP version update from 7.2 to 7.4+ addresses potential security risks by requiring a supported PHP version (7.2 reached EOL in 2022 with known vulnerabilities). While not explicitly citing a CVE, this change promotes secure defaults by avoiding outdated software.
